Whilst we are wiping tears of mirth away about Judas coming a cropper after we got the dosh, lets not forget this could easily happen to one of our players like Dusan too...

I suggest care is taken with this thread; the discussion could potentially turn libellous.

We have even less recourse now than we did under Lowe, because at least then we were a listed company where we could buy shares. For now, I suggest you watch this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuFyuWiMqmM

Sorry, but that is far from being proven. Besides, we are talking about 5+ out, 2 in (with ca.90m PROFIT) from a club already woefully short of squad depth....

Interesting analogy.

We already needed a GK, CB and ST.

Love Diana Rigg. Ingrid Pitt is a good call too, preferred her in Where Eagles Dare though. Complete sh*g-piece in a dirndl.

I for one believe it would have at least taken longer, maybe January, maybe next summer.

The bottom line. And why the buck rests firmly with her. If she was concerned about the performance of Krueger, Reed and the rest, she could just replace them.

Who cares ? He's as useless as the rest of them.

Calm, as in "Mopo about his contract discussions" calm ???

I sense a complete vacuum of direction and leadership above Koeman. I really wonder if he is being kept in the loop about player sales. The whole situation is a mess. I personally think Liebherr thinks she has done her bit by completing her fathers 5 year plan now wants to get her money out. Might explain turning those loans into shares or whatever happened and that we've spent chickensh*t compared to what we've cashed. I just dont know why she didnt just try to find a buyer. Maybe she did and no-one is interested, as with Aston Villa. For that we can thank Platini.

If Targett showed as much promise as you suggest, Uncle Les will flog him in January.

Couldnt happen to a nicer guy. C**t.

Good news indeed, but the haste and decisiveness about this being done also speaks volumes about the failure to offer Cork and Fonte contracts.

Keep clutching 'em, dudes...

Yes, well lets see some action, not words or guessing.

Hey, Mr. Full-of-yerself, I think you'll find the real shock and eye-opener is Chambers going, not Lovren.

Yes, this is a major crisis now, I believe. The exodus is about to recommence; clearly the remaining first team players are not convinced by the Board or Koeman (not saying that is his fault). the Cork and Fonte contract situation is just a f**king joke. They managed to get Reed's contract sorted out. I think an asset strip is well under way. Tadic and Pelle beginning to feel like scraps from the table... Entering the season with no defence, imo.

So, our board have capitulated again. And still no solid rumours of replacements. Lovely further example for Morgan, Chambers, J-Rod. Beginning to feel like a firesale again. Wonder what Koeman, Tadic and Pelle are thinking ? Meanwhile rumours abound Fonte will get a contract offer, but only by letter. Something is SERIOUSLY wrong at SMS.

Either you really need your bumps felt, or Katharina is paying you.

Nick G really is on another planet sometimes... For my part, the communication landscape down SMS sounds utterly bizarre; you have to wonder if the club actually want to keep players.

3 weeks to first game, 5 players short, nothing in the wires, and no appartent movement in offloading Osvaldo. Has uncle Les and the board p*ssed off on holiday, or has the dosh been spirited back to Switzerland and thats yer lot ? Worried.

At least someone has finally used the correct Bundesland in their abuse

Old news. The worst bit of the quote for me was the "I didnt think twice" bit These players have absolutely no loyalty or gratitude whatsoever nowadays. Would rather we focused on his replacement than water-under-the-bridge..
